  • SCOTUS May Overturn 45-year Precedent — Which Itself Overturned 193-year Precedent

    By Selwyn Duke Should the Ten Commandments be displayed in public schools? With relatively new Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas laws mandating such, this matter may soon come before the Supreme Court. The reportage on this is interesting, too. The “Court may soon consider overturning 45-year precedent,” reads a recent Newsweek headline. Unmentioned is that this now-“45-year precedent”…

  • Old Media Dying: Waning CBS Cancels Colbert. Is Kimmel Next?

    By Selwyn Duke “So, for the first time in history, Americans have stopped watching NBC, CBS TV, and ABC,” reported commentator Bill O’Reilly Thursday. “Their viewing level has fallen below 20 percent — unheard of.” “And it’s because they’re boring and they’re far left,” O’Reilly elaborated. “That’s the two reasons.” The latest casualty of this legacy-media…

  • Democrats Are Openly Embracing Socialism Now (or Is It Communism?)

    By Selwyn Duke It was back in 1880’s Britain that liberal politician Sir William Harcourt infamously said, “We are all socialists now.” (Perhaps this would explain why today’s Britain is poorer than Mississippi — literally.) But here’s a question: Should the Democratic Party make this pronouncement now? And should they add, “And communism can sorta’ fly, too”?…

  • 16-year-olds Will Be Voting: UK’s Libs Aim to Stay in Power by Recruiting Kids

    By Selwyn Duke Facing severe manpower shortages in WWII’s waning months, Nazi Germany conscripted adolescent boys, some as young as 12, into military service. This was a sign of desperation, of course, one that ended well for neither kids nor country. And we see another attempt to recruit the young for something they’re ill prepared…

  • Explaining the Left’s Deep Hatred for America

    Image created using Grok AI. By Selwyn Duke Apart from Sandy Cortez (aka “AOC,” D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) party now claims 200-plus elected officials nationwide. This is why what’s part of the DSA’s platform is notable.

  • Jordan Peterson: What Happens When You Erase Masculinity

    By Selwyn Duke When the Māori conquered the Moriori in the South Pacific in the mid-19th century, they proceeded to kill most of the fighting-age men and boys. The process, known as “androcide,” has occurred numerous times in history. The idea: Neuter a society by eliminating masculinity — in this case, by eliminating the masculine…

  • Is It Fair Calling Gen Z the “Useful Idiot Generation”?

    By Selwyn Duke “What embitters the world is not excess of criticism,” noted philosopher G.K. Chesterton, “but an absence of self-criticism.” This could come to mind with a recent Wall Street Journal piece titled “Gen Z, the Useful Idiot Generation.” Oh, it’s not that the authors are wrong about how “leftism” greatly infects this relatively young…

  • Beck and Hanson Warn: “How America Elects a Socialist President in 2028”

    By Selwyn Duke “The Democratic Party won’t be in power for a long, long time now,” we hear. The idea is that there has been a “realignment” and/or that the wrong ideology (wokeness) has hobbled the party. Well, we’ve seen this movie and its remakes before. The ending is always the same, too. After Republican President Richard…

  • Does the Bible Command Conservatives to Accept Illegal Migration?

    By Selwyn Duke With the Democrats controlling neither the presidency nor Congress and having largely failed to stop deportations via the courts, they’ve exhausted the political options for advancing their pro-illegal-migration agenda (at least for now). So they’re perhaps left grasping at straws. Enter the religious option. To wit: Many leftists are now citing the…

  • Duke on TV: My Latest Appearance on Bill Martinez LIVE—7/7/25

    By Selwyn Duke I was on with Bill, one of the truly good people in the media, for approximately 50 minutes. We had a great discussion that was very information dense. I hope you enjoy it.
